I don't believe there's going to be a step 5.  The deed is done
there doesn't appear to be any room on HP's part for step 5.
So on to step 7.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Dealing with the e3000 announcement


Whether it's five, seven, nine, or whatever, it is a
well-accepted fact that there are stages associated
with the grieving process.  Here is a seven stage
list:

1.  Shock
2.  Denial
3.  Anger
4.  Depression
5.  Bargaining
6.  Acceptance
7.  Rebuilding

Of the people posting to 3000-L, many appear to be in
stages 2 and/or 3 at this time.  This is entirely
understandable, given the timeframe of the
announcement.

But, you must recognize and understand that stages 4,
5, and 6 will occur before you get to stage 7...and it
is not until you get to stage 7 that you will be
starting to accomplish anything constructive.
